Abstract

A method where a first type location area of a mobile node is registered to a first mobility management node. A second type location area is determined based on a location of the mobile node. A second type location area of the mobile node is registered to a second mobility management node of a second system. A request to perform user plane bearer establishment through the second system is received. Thereupon, radio measurements associated with at least two candidate cells are obtained from the mobile node. Candidate cells are searched to find at least one cell associated with the second type location area. A cell is selected among the at least one cell, which is indicated to the selected cell to the mobile node. A handover request is provided to the mobile node.
